Propper backup procedure?

[Neoburn]

I of course did some searching for this and found very little and not enough to answer my question, but what is the best way to backup your server/database? I do a weekly clean up of the server and it would also be nice to toss in a backup in my list of tasks. Also, side thought, but is it possible to set a backup procedure as a automated process? As always, thanks for the help everyone.

I'll reply before someone blasts a flame at you for posting a non-emulator related question here...

If you d/l MySQL GUI Tools, the MySQL Administrator allows you to setup backups, even on a schedule. Check out the mysql website under downloads, I think.

Assuming he is running the server under windows and wants to back up his EQEMu DB, it is eqemu related.

worst anyone can say is he should have posted in

Development::Tools
3rd Party Tools for EQEMu (DB management tools, front ends, etc...)

I like Navicat, you can automate backups daily so you never have to worry about em.
